Abstract
A break-action firearm with a breech housing, a barrel section that can pivot about a hinge bearing on the breech housing, and a removable fore-end, which contains on its front end a locking mechanism and on its rear end a bearing section for pivoting connection to the breech housing. This provides an easy-to-manufacture fore-end of the break-action firearm with minimal overall height, such that the hinge bearing grasps hinge pin, which project laterally inwards from the breech housing and which engage in lateral recesses on opposing side surfaces of a fastener section of the barrel section. In addition, the bearing section has bolts, which project inwards with at least one lateral contact surface and which lead to contact on corresponding abutment surfaces on the two side surfaces of the fastener section.
